DavidB Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 Great to have you back - you've been missed! Loving the rolling stock - how did you make the Mk2 BSO with the wider passenger window spacings? It looks like it must have been a real labour of love. David Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Window spacings were gauged and measured using pics and the TSO's i had already built........ yes they did take a while. lol. I have also built two FK's and i think i might build another couple plus some TSO's and a BFK sometime. 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidB Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 Very nice work indeed - must have been the mother of all cut-and-shut jobs, and you've got a first class (groan) finish on them too. Seriously impressive. David Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold jcarta Posted May 31, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 31, 2018 (edited) Evening First of all ...... The coaches are absolutely cracking.... Great work on them.

Can you please let me know some of the pit falls to expect as well as where you purchased the window frames from? Lastly, the underframe..... Did you have to add parts to it? ... If so where did you purchase the from.... Regards Jim Edited May 31, 2018 by jcarta Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so where did you purchase the from.... Regards Jim Hi Jim thankyou for those kind words. Firstly no real pit falls as such just take your time with your measuring and cutting. The window frame etch was a collective thing from several members who got together and placed a large order to a etching company so it didnt work out too expensive. This was several years ago and are no longer available as far as im aware. However J M Hughes does a Mk2 window etch now. There list is on the traders list on the O gauge guild site. As regards the underframe it is mostly scratch built except for the resin battery boxes which are Peter Cowling . The bogies are B4 Easybuild bogies. Hope this helps, Regards Rob.

37114 Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 Great thread, some excellent modelling. Revthe TPO stock are these completely scratchbuilt or are you using any kit components eg Roof to complete please? I would be tempted to have a go at one but not sure 100% scratchbuild is within my skillset yet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
